5 Basic Needs of a Husband

By Rodney D. Robertson

Ladies, today I want to give you some knowledge that can give you the edge in your relationship. Men do have emotions. We just express them differently from you. Here are 5 basic needs that I want to challenge you to meet in the life of your husband.

#1 Need of the Husband: Sexual Fulfillment

Sexual fulfillment is a real need for your husband. Having sexual relations with you is his way of connecting with you. And when that need isn’t satisfied, it can open the door to sexual temptations presented by the enemy. When a good man is sexually satisfied, he goes to work happy, tension free and he isn’t looking for someone else. Why, because he got what he needs and wants at home.

#2 Respect

Aretha Franklin said it best, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.” Respect is a big deal for your husband. When a man isn’t respected, he will not stay around. In fact, he will find reasons to work later to avoid the disrespect and mistreatment at home.

#3 Support

Your husband wants and needs your support. One is too small of a number to achieve greatness (John Maxwell). He needs your assistance, help, support, confidence, and encouragement. Be his partner and not his opponent.

#4 Friendship

He desires for you to walk with him through life moving in the same direction. He wants you to share in his passions and interests. Be his friend.

#5 Acceptance without judgment

When your husband decides to be open and honest with you, he wants to know that he will be heard and not judged. He wants to know that what he shares with you in a moment of vulnerability will not be used against him or thrown in his face 6 days or 6 months later.
